Viscount Austin's scrutinizing gaze road over Luis for a long ti.
But soon, he showed a sincere smile: "Luis, you made the right decision! The Duke Pros is a generous and kind lord, and he is worthy of your loyalty!"
Luis seed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly shook Viscount Austin's hand and kept expressing his gratitude.
Viscount Austin looked at Luis, whose attitude suddenly beca extrely flattering, and couldn't help feeling disdainful.
After a few more casual remarks, Viscount Austin sent Luis and Asmon away.
Coming to the buffet table, Viscount Austin put a few exquisite desserts into his mouth, and then saw a familiar figure passing by him.
"Sith... Oh, sorry, it should be His Excellency Duke Sith now."
Sith, who had just been canonized as Duke by Queen Elsa, also smiled and saluted to Viscount Austin.
The two had t several tis and were considered acquaintances.
"Your Excellency the Viscount, welco to Silvermoon City again!"
"Haha, I am also an old custor of Silver Moon City. It's just that every ti I co here, there are so big changes, especially this ti."
Sith showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
The changes in Silvermoon City in recent days are indeed quite huge.
He also changed from Shadow Guard Sith(Hyacinth Chamber of Comrce head) to the Duke of Half Elf City.
"It is a little big... But don't worry. We will still treat our distinguished guests with the sa enthusiasm as before."
"Oh? So, tonight, there will be a beautiful half-elf slave girl in my room as usual?"
"certainly!"
The two smiled at each other, very ambiguous.
"It seems that you are getting stronger and stronger now." Viscount Austin said with a smile.
"Not bad..." Sith said with a smile.
Viscount Austin turned the wine glass in his hand and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Sith, we are old friends. Tell the truth, are you happy just being a duke?"
Sith eyes narrowed a little, then he imdiately looked around and was relieved when he saw that no one noticed them.
"Your Excellency, I...how could I not be reconciled? Her Majesty the Queen is quite kind to ..."
Viscount Austin laughed and said disdainfully, "What queen? The Miller family is just a usurper. When did they beco qualified to beco a half-elf royal family?"
Sith face showed so embarrassnt.
Because Viscount Austin's words included them as well.
Looking at the silent Sith, Viscount Austin already had a plan in mind.
He understood that Sith was unwilling to give in with just this, but he did not dare to resist in the face of pressure from the Miller family and the North.
So, he thought he should stimulate the other party again.
"Sith, Marquis Vincent told before he ca here that the Modiwen family is the best partner of the Saint Pros family and the only family qualified to control the Half-Elf Kingdom."
Sith suddenly raised his head, looked at Viscount Austin with sharp eyes, and opened his mouth to say sothing, but after stamring a few tis, he still couldn't utter it.
Viscount Austin was disappointed.
He had long known that William was a cowardly and stupid guy, but the diwine family had reached this point and this guy was still the sa.
"Sith, tell , don't you want to beco a king?"
Having said that, Sith could no longer avoid it.
He finally nodded and uttered a mosquito-like sound: "I want to."
"Very good!" Viscount Austin's mouth curled up slightly. "Then, tell , what happened in the Queen's bedroom?"
Sith imdiately recounted everything he knew.
Viscount Austin was sowhat disappointed after hearing this.
Because the version Sith told was the one he heard that was circulating outside.
"What kind of person do you think Luis Hartmann is?" Viscount Austin asked again.
"He is... smart, strong, and resourceful."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes. In fact, it was with the help of Sir Luis that i beca a Duke."
Viscount Austin stroked his mustache and suddenly frowned: "So, Hartmann Jr now has great control over Silver Moon City?"
"Yes. It can even be said that he is the real master of Silvermoon City."
"Really?" Viscount Austin's expression beca more serious. "Why is Queen Elsa so obedient to him?"
"I don't know..."
Viscount Austin stretched out his right hand, pressed it on the other's shoulder, and squeezed it hard, saying in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Sith. Marquis Vincent's 100,000 troops will soon arrive in Silver Moon City. We will be your solid backing, so you don't have to be afraid of anything!"
When he heard about the 100,000-strong army, Sith expression changed a little.
After a mont, he seed to have finally made up his mind and whispered, "Your Excellency, there is actually so Dressrosa Knights that have already entered the Silvermoon City. They seem to favor Sir Luis. It is precisely because of this military force that Sir Luis has beco the true master of this city."
Viscount Austin's eyes widened imdiately, and he asked urgently, "Dressrosa Knights? How did they get here? How many people are there?"
"It is said that they ca from the north of Shadow Mountains. There are 10,000 people in total."
Viscount Austin stood there in thought.
A few monts later he looked towards the direction of Luis.
There, Luis was with a won chatting in an intimate matter.
"Pledge allegiance to the East?" Viscount Austin sneered and muttered to himself, "But Hartmann Jr, your loyalty seems to be reserved."
"Your Excellency, Viscount, what did you say?" Sith asked carefully.
"Nothing." Viscount Austin retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention to Luis.
Instead, he smiled and said to Sith, "Sith, believe . As long as the Marquis's army arrives in Silvermoon City, all the conspiracies and intrigues will disappear. And you will ascend the throne of the half-elf throne again!"
Sith face flushed with excitent. He suppressed his inner ecstasy and whispered,
"Thank you for the grace of the Saint Pros family! I will always be your firm supporter!"
----
As the night deepened, the banquet in the palace finally ca to an end.
After seeing off the guests, Luis turned around and saw Sith standing in the shadows with a Smile on his face.
"Boss, I have done everything you asked..."
Luis smiled and said, "Very good."
"Inform Queen Elsa, The city gates are open to welco Marquis Vincent into Silvermoon City."
-----
Three days later, Viscount Austin left Silvermoon City and ca to Red Maple Manor.
At this ti, Red Maple Manor had been requisitioned by the East Territory Army and had completely beco a huge military camp.
Viscount Austin walked into the manor and t Marquis Vincent who was enjoying dinner in the restaurant.
"My Lord Marquis!"
"Lord Austin, you have had a hard journey. Let's eat first."
"yes."
The two of them finished their dinner quickly but elegantly, and then Marquis Vincent asked, "How is the Silver Moon City group going?"
"On the surface, everything seems to be going well. Queen Elsa has agreed to your two conditions, and even that Hartmann Jr has expressed his willingness to pledge allegiance to the East."
"Oh?" Marquis Vincent raised his eyebrows, "Why did Hartmann Jr betray the North?"
"According to him, he hated Duke Dressrosa because they have given everything in the north but their noble rank has not increased for years. They are still a baron, no matter how many war rits they gather it becos a wedding dress for others."
"Well, that's a little more reasonable." Marquis Vincent groaned, but then asked, "Then why do you still say 'everything seems to be going well'?"
"Because I discovered that Hartmann Jr is hiding sothing from us."
"What is he hiding?"
"It was concealed that there are already 10,000 Dressrosa Knights in Silver Moon City!"
"Dressrosa Knights?" Marquis Vincent sat up straight and his face beca serious.
"Who told you this news?"
"Sith Westwood."
"Do you believe him?"
"I know Sith, he won't lie to . Besides, I have asked several other half-elf nobles who are on good terms with the East Territory, and they all said they saw a group of Dressrosa Knights entering Silvermoon City."
"What about Queen Elsa? What's her attitude?"
"She is probably a puppet fostered by the North. Her words may not be trustworthy."
Marquis Vincent nodded and frowned, "So, they are just pretending to surrender to us in order to paralyze us?"
"It should be."
"Haha, how arrogant!" Marquis Vincent's face was a little ferocious, "How many troops are there in Silver Moon City now?"
"Sith told that the Silver Moon Guard of the Half-Elf Kingdom had just experienced a coup and suffered heavy losses. Although a group of new soldiers were urgently added and the establishnt of 30,000 people was restored, there were only 20,000 veterans with a certain combat effectiveness.
Apart from that, there are the remnants of the Dressrosa Knights with 10,000 n."
"The Silver Moon Guards are nothing to be afraid of." Marquis Vincent waved his hand and said with disdain.
But then, his tone beca serious again: "The key is the ten thousand Dressrosa Knight."
